I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Sister Xiaotao asked curiously, is it true or not?

Zhang Tingjian smiled slightly. He had nothing to do at the moment, so he drew something in the air. He saw a glittering pattern in the air. He waved his hand lightly, and the pattern scattered on his body and disappeared.

Zhang Tingjian smiled and asked Sister Xiaotao to come over and smell it. It was really strange. The smell of alcohol that was everywhere just now disappeared in an instant. Instead, a scent of wood could be smelled on him.

Zhang Nan was even more excited. This is possible. It's really magical. Please teach us quickly. I want the scent of lavender.

This made Zhang Tingjian speechless. This is the original scent of the talisman. I have no way to add any flavor. If it could be used as perfume, I would have invented the durian flavor long ago.

Zhang Nan hit him embarrassedly and said, "It's okay if it doesn't work. The wood tastes pretty good."

Several people were excitedly coming up with ideas, all wanting to give it a try. They slid their hands in the air, which made Zhang Tingjian laugh and cry.

You are all mortals, without any magical powers, and there is no way you can draw talismans in the air.

Haven’t you seen that Taoists all need a medium? You need to draw these things on yellow paper.

Zhang Nan felt embarrassed and quickly went to ask Xiao Xing if there was anyone selling these things in their village.

Xiao Xing didn't know, so she ran over and asked her grandparents downstairs. It was quite a coincidence. There was an incense and candle shop at the west end of the village, which usually served the local people in weddings and funerals.

The store has a comprehensive range of items such as yellow paper, cinnabar, and brushes. Incense, candles, and statues of gods are also readily available.

There are many elderly people in the village now, and they like to go to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Rural areas in the south still attach great importance to religious beliefs. Generally, every village has a land temple. Some places also have Taoist temples and Guanyin temples, which are all built spontaneously by local people.

In many places, ancient temples have become local protected cultural relics and ancient buildings.

Generally, large markets have temple fairs, especially in coastal areas, where activities to pay tribute to the gods are held every New Year.

It was quite grand, and you could see that the wishes of the common people were very simple. Some businesses would donate money and materials, and local prominent figures would come out and organize activities for everyone.

These are all very face-saving things.

Therefore, many people participated very enthusiastically, fearing that if they were a step behind, they would be looked down upon by their fellow villagers.

So, don’t think that there are not many people in the village usually. When the time comes, those who go home like to show off when they pay homage to the gods.

That’s easy, Zhang Tingjian said, all you need to draw the talisman is yellow paper.

Most incense and candle shops have them.

Zhang Nan asked anxiously, do we still need statues, incense and candles, or an altar or something?

Zhang Tingjian smiled and said, I am a god myself, it is impossible for me to offer sacrifices to myself, so there is no need for incense and candles.

Those things are empty, it’s better to go back and buy some delicious food, hehe!

Everyone laughed so hard that they held their stomachs, thinking that it would be great to make friends with gods.

Zhang Tingjian instructed Xiao Xing on some things, and then asked Xiao Xing and Xiao Zao to buy yellow paper, and also some cinnabar and a brush.

Girls like Xiao Xing have very interesting minds, and they all like mysterious things.

When Xiaozao found out that they wanted to learn how to draw talismans, she was very active and wanted to learn too.

Zhang Tingjian saw that the sisters were really interested, smiled slightly, and then wrote the talisman with a big brush.

It's neither round nor square, and it doesn't look like a character.

When Zhang Nan and the others saw it, they thought it looked like a child's graffiti and wondered what the hell it was.

Zhang Tingjian smiled and said that talismans have many requirements. They are not like what you think, that is, they require writing large seal or regular script calligraphy. There are many things that need to be communicated with the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth.

Sister Xiaotao couldn't help but ask curiously, why didn't you go and communicate with Buddha, gods or something when we were in Tibet.

Zhang Tingjian smiled and said that there is Buddhism in Tibet, and their ancestors are different from ours.

Just like the beliefs of foreign Christians.

Western gods naturally have their own system. Westerners believe in God, which is different from us.

Xiaozao sat beside them with his eyes wide open, not knowing what they were talking about. His heart was pounding like a drum.

Could it be that this brother is a god? I always hear them talking about heaven and gods.

Zhang Nan didn't care about that and just followed Zhang Tingjian's example, drawing one picture after another.

Zhang Tingjian said that drawing talismans actually requires a certain amount of talent.

Among the twelve people in our training class, Zhu Xiaoqi is actually the best. No matter what kind of talisman it is, he can basically draw it almost accurately just by looking at it.

Even Zhao Bufan still can't draw a single talisman.

However, Zhao Bufan also has his strengths. He was the first person among us who knew how to use software.

He assembled all our computers for us.

In the mortal world, what do people call this kind of person? Computer genius.

Zhang Nan smiled and said, isn’t he just a hacker? What’s the point of calling him a computer genius? He just likes to hack into other people’s websites.

Zhang Tingjian smiled and said, you can say that.

When talking about Zhao Bufan and Zhu Xiaoqi, Sister Xiaotao became a little excited.

When can we go back? I really miss Zhao Bufan and Sister Xiaoqi and their husband.

After the TV series became popular, Sister Xiaoyu took them to various parts of the country, because TV stations in various provinces and cities bought the broadcasting rights of the TV series and needed the crew to promote it.

Especially the logistics department, they need to serve the main actors.

I don’t know if Sister Xiaoyu will get angry when she sees Xiaotao again. I guess Sister Xiaotao will definitely not forgive me.

Fortunately, I have already obtained the Dzi beads she wanted, otherwise I really don’t know how to explain to her when the time comes.

The current task is to learn. This talisman is quite good. Zhang Tingjian introduced that it is called the Heart Purification Mantra, which is used to clear away fatigue and evil spirits from the human body.

Zhang Nan was a little excited and muttered softly.

I secretly asked Zhang Tingjian if there was any talisman that could open my third eye and allow me to see some dirty things.

Zhang Tingjian thought it was a bit funny. "You've probably watched too many movies! There aren't so many monsters and demons in the world."

So many people have passed away in this world over the years. If they did not reincarnate and enter the cycle of rebirth, there would be more souls than living people.

Everything in the movies is fake. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. The soul will enter reincarnation. If it does not enter reincarnation, it will usually be gone with the wind.

How could there be so many thousand-year-old ghosts wreaking havoc on the human world? Even the underworld wouldn't allow that. Hehehe!

But when we were in the training class, we watched movies like A Chinese Ghost Story and The Road to Humanity. You know what, these movies are really good.
